He's landed 20 of 29 takedowns that he has attempted while only being taken down eight times by opponents during their 41 attempts.

Total Guard Passes For: 48
Total Guard Passes Against: 3

He landed 13 against Sam Hoger alone. The only fighters to pass Machida's guard are Hoger, Penn, and Nakamura. One each. The furthest anyone has gotten in Machida's guard was to half-guard. And that was Penn, from what I could find.

Submission Attempts For: 7
Submission Attempts Against: 5

He attempted four against Sokoudjou alone. Ortiz and Sokoudjou each notched two against Machida while Greco had the other.

Total Dominance Rating: 2845-561

That's a 5-to-1 advantage. Think about that. Penn had the most success against him (150).

Has there ever been a fighter in MMA history, not just UFC history, that has dominated opponents as much as Machida has in all aspects?

Bruce Lee was also quite possibly one of the greatest martial artist of all time. He was a world renown fighter and only took up acting as a side project. Anyway, although Machida is extremely skilled I would think the real talents of martial arts and hand-to-hand combat do not take part in professional fighting.

Bruce Lee invented his own fighting style that was practical compared to other martial arts. He is known as the father of mixed martial arts. Like someone posted before, acting was just something to make money. The way he trained and fought was unparalleled back then.

You should read about Bruce Lee. The stuff he invented was amazing. If it wasn't for him, Dana White along with all the other MMA fighters probably wouldn't have a job right now.
